Just had my fourth 2nd placing in the carbon tourneys want a win sooooo bad but never mad getting free money :)
need to practice some heads up so you can finishthe deal.... nice playing trop!!!!!!!
you will soon keep it up
yeah just keep making deep runs and u will. took me like 5 tries before i won my first won, oh and also practice heads up like steveo said
At least you're not getting busted out before the money by stupid but lucky fishies
Thanks guys :) and I felt my HU was good, cant do much when crippled losing the game winning all in against 75s lol but I'll win one....eventually lol
Well, this certainly leaves out some critical details. Like how you were essentially getting consistently run over until you were down just over 2 to 1 and had only 7bbs, and re-shoved A4. You got snap-called by 77, and were one card but gone until the river A dropped to save you and suddenly give you a chip lead. But your opponent still didn't relent, winning 2 of the next 3 hands to build himself back up to a point where he had a small bit of fold equity, when he raised and committed himself to the pot, and you shipped AK. Unfortunately, at that point, there were very few hands that anyone with 6bbs could raise-fold, and a suited one-gap is not one of them. And just for the record, the chip lead changed hands twice there at the end, but the final hand was when u open-shoved 44 for 7bbs and got called by ATo. Just like you binking the river earlier, the T drops on the river for the win. (Altho any heart would also have given your opponent the win, and a loss would only have flopped the lead around again.)Quote:

Did you know he went on to crush yet another HORSE tourney later that night? Who the heck was that bully?
Nice job you will get some wins. They will come in bunches too. Good luck next time.
heads up is something that I have become pretty good at but it came from alot of practice when fulltilt was still up and running you could play in heads up sng for various amounts of money
nice one , dont go crazy 2nd place is a great achievement
Ok? I'm ether guessing u were one of those hand I "misplayed" or u just enjoy watching lol regardless how the final table played out it was a freeroll I've seen much worse players win from worse play and ya I got lucky hitting 2pair with A4 but it's the final table, you have to catch cards and get a little lucky to win, any made hand has value and I was the aggressor it's not like a called an all in with middle pair I was making a move and I'd rather play with my gut than restrict my play by worshiping play by percentagesQuote:

My OP wasn't just saying I've gotten 2nd four times not that " I get sucked out during HU four times in a row" I was upset he won with 75 we both had live cards and he caught his, congrats on his win I didn't understand the harsh critique on my play when I wasn't upset nor criticizing anyone else's play but thanks for the pennies lol
hang in there bud, better than nothing
